Used engine oil and filter contain harmful
substances for the environment. Contact
a Fiat Dealership to have the oil and

filters changed.They are equipped to dispose of
the used oil and filters respecting nature and the
law.

ENGINE COOLANT

The coolant level must be checked when the engine
is cold and must range between the MIN. and MAX.
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50% PARAFLU

of FL

Selenia through the filler neck C (see previous pages)
until the level reaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU

and distilled water

gives freeze protection up to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used in particularly harsh
weather conditions, we recommend using a 60-40
mixture of PARAFLU

and distilled water.

PARAFLU

anti-freeze is used in the

engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping

up. PARAFLU

may not be mixed with any other

types of fluids. If this happens, do not start the
engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with

another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING

50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 50%
water in winter.
